Like many of my pieces, this dress has been years in the making. I was lucky enough to visit Georgia O’Keefe’s home in Abiquiu, New Mexico in 2019. Like many people, I was so inspired by her home and her life. I spotted gingham tablecloths throughout O’Keefe’s carefully designed home which inspired my fabric choice for this dress. O’Keefe’s style of dress was also quite sculptural and simple. Not to be presumptuous, but I can see O’Keefe wearing this dress quite clearly in my mind’s eye.

I imagine this dress layered up for winter dressing: think a hand knit sweater (the older, the better), a bunchy scarf, warm wool tights and ankle boots. I also love it with bare legs and sneakers.

I recommend around 12” of “ease” or space between your bust measurement and about 20” of ease in the hips give or take a few inches here and there. As always, you can e-mail me with any questions.

Eri, pictured first, is 5’7” and her bust measurement is 33 1/2”, her waist is 29 1/2” and her hips are 37 1/2”. She is wearing an os 1. Kaylee, pictured second, is 5’9” and has a bust measurement of 42”, a waist measurement of 39 1/2” and a hip measurement of 50”. She is wearing an os 2.

Let me tell you a little bit about this special fabric. It’s a beautiful yarn-dyed linen made in small batches at a European mill. This mill uses renewable energy to supply their operation. Linen is, quite simply, magic. It is naturally organic as the flax plant grows well in low quality soil (so no fertilizers), is naturally pest-resistant (so no pesticides), and requires less water to grow than cotton. It moisture wicks very well, but can also keep you warm in the cold. Like I said…magic.

Fabric content: 100% linen
